at least you'll have fresh paint now...personally i dont feel like a car can ever be the same after an accident, but given the circumstances i'm sure this car will continue to look, run, and handle just as great as it ever did, if not better...

congratulations on getting her back!

Not yet. Im waiting for a new coilover the old one is bended.
The workshop has cross measured everything, so it should be straight.

car looks really nice. WOW 10,000 dollars from the insurance company!!WTF here in germany they total out e46s with less damage than that and the
y are only worth 6000-7000 euros. I am sure that if someone crashed into my vert. I would be LUCKY to recieve anything over 1000 euros here in Germany.

good luck with the rebuild of it- looks like its coming along nicely.

All cars have high value in Norway. People pay $20000-22000 for a 325 m-tech2 in good shape.
The insuranse company thinks a e30 325i is worth $2600, but when i told them how much the car has costed the last 3 years they understood how much the car was worth.

Some price examples from Norway
A new 135i coupe costs $145 000 before you choose extra equipment.
E60 M5: $348 000
E90 316i: $55 000

Holy Crap! I guess there's one good thing about living in America.

**Yngvejos** · 09-26-2009, 11:38 AM

I have done som work on it today.
I removed the engine, so i can paint the engine room.

When thats done. I have to install the m-tech2 side panels, then the car is ready for paint. :)

The high prices are because of the high taxes on cars.
To get license plates on an imported 88 325i you have to pay $8000 in taxes to the government.

Got some new parts.

The engine bay looks like this atm.
